| 4701 | Investigation of empty container shortage based on SWARA-ARAS methods in the COVID-19 era A shortage of empty containers has become a global crisis with more devastating effects than during previous periods when combined with various problems arising from the COVID-19, such as an increase in an imbalance of global trade between supply and demand, a decrease in the workforce, and restrictions by countries or regional quarantine practices. The absence of empty containers in regions where they are needed slows down industrial activities and locks the global supply networks, necessitating the use of alternative methods that are inefficient. Although this shortage causes many disruptions in global trade, solutions to the issue have not been studied in detail. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the issues caused by the shortage of empty containers and to rank the appropriate solutions. Four main criteria and sixteen subcategories used to define the issues, as well as a multi criteria decision model comprising five criteria for the solutions, were proposed based on information from the literature, sectorial publications, and expert opinions. The issues’ weighted order of importance in our proposed model was calculated using the SWARA (Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) method; solutions were ranked using the ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) method. The results of the study revealed that the issues were ranked in importance as cost increases, uncertainty in the supply chain, volume loss, and increases in blank sailing announcements. Appropriate solutions were ranked as booking guarantee applications and information communication technologies, using shipper-owned containers, inducement calls, and E2E (end to end) delivery services. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 4703 | The EU's Hospitality and Welcome Culture: Conceiving the "No Human Being Is Illegal" Principle in the EU Fundamental Freedoms and Migration Governance This article aims to highlight the theoretical and philosophical debate on hospitality underlining the normative elements of framing migrants and refugees as individual agents in the light of hospitality theory and migration governance. It argued the critiques of the neo-Kantian hospitality approach and the EU welcome culture with regard to refugees in the EU from a philosophical perspective. The “No human being is illegal” motto is proposed to be conceived as a principle of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The cosmopolitan right to visit and the universal right to reside were discussed in the context of human rights and co-responsibility. Linking the hospitality approach with migration governance enables the reconstruction of reception policies and practices, diversification of non-state actors that engage in migration governance mechanism, and polarization of political initiatives (e.g., politics of allocation and dispersal, readmission negotiations, convergence/divergence of priorities and strategic interests). The research findings highlight that the EU adopted a neo-Kantian hospitality approach that combines both “co-responsibility” and “vertical/heterarchical relations.” The EU’s “New Pact on Migration and Asylum” was considered proof of how the EU follows neo-Kantian hospitality that is manifested in dualism and contradictory approach. The study presents a typology that splits co-responsibility into individual/institutional actions and human rights/migration governance. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 4705 | Digitale Hochschullehre im ersten COVID-19-Semester. Ergebnisse einer Befragung von Lehrenden in Public Health, Medizin und Pflege BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has driven the digitisation in higher education institutions. At the same time, digital higher education teaching faced the challenge of designing teaching in the context of pre-existing resources, digital and didactic skills, and available technical infrastructure. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the survey was to assess the assessment/evaluation of digital teaching, which has largely or completely replaced face-to-face teaching as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the perspective of lecturers in public health, medicine and nursing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cross-sectional survey took place online from June to August 2020 and data were collected via www.soscisurvey. The written survey was conducted among members of the German Society for Public Health (DGPH) and the Digitisation Committee of the Society for Medical Education (GMA) and the Education and Counselling Sections of the German Society for Nursing Science (DGP), and the Teaching Working Group of the German Society for Medical Sociology (DGMS) (n = 100). RESULTS: In terms of the use of digital technologies in the courses, presentation tools ranked first, followed by learning management systems, video content and digital texts. With regard to the use of tools, participants most frequently mentioned various video conference tools). The creation of instructional videos was affirmed by 53% of the respondents; voting tools were mentioned as unknown by over 50%. Digital infrastructure of the universities, lack of didactic advice/support and legal questions (rights of use, data protection) were cited as challenges. CONCLUSION: New technology is mainly used for knowledge acquisition, knowledge transfer, rarely for activating students and designing collaborative teaching and learning arrangements as well as redesigning learning tasks and learning processes (individualised learning). Which of the currently tested digital teaching and learning formats will be increasingly used in university teaching in the future depends on many factors, including digital competence and the willingness of teachers and students to help develop the digital learning culture. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4706 | Gas Flowmeter Based on Vibrating Wires The paper proposes a new type of gas flowmeters based on measurements of the deformations of the thermal field of the heater in the presence of a flow using vibrating wires. The advantage of such flowmeters as compared with the known ones using a similar thermal principle of operation is the improved accuracy of temperature measurements compared to resistance thermometers or thermocouples. The use of thin wires can also increase the speed of flowmeters. The use of wires 20–30 mm long allows the creation of wide-aperture inlet holes for gas streams. A natural property of the developed flowmeters is also in their bidirectionality. A sample of a flowmeter based on vibrating wires was made and the calibration experiments were carried out. An experiment was carried out in which a flowmeter was used to measure the acceleration. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4707 | Analysis of energy management schemes for renewable-energy-based smart homes against the backdrop of COVID-19 This article reviews energy management schemes for smart homes integrated with renewable energy resources in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The incorporation of distributed renewable energy system has initiated an acute transition from the traditional centralized energy management system to independent demand responsive energy systems. Renewable energy-based Smart Home Energy Management Systems (SHEMSs) play a vital role in the residential sector with the increased and dynamic electricity demand during the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance the efficacy, sustainability, economical benefits, and energy conservation for a distribution system. In this regard, the reviews of various energy management schemes for smart homes appliances and associated challenges has been presented. Different energy scheduling controller techniques have also been analyzed and compared in the COVID-19 framework by reviewing several cases from the literature. The utilization and benefits of renewable-based SHEMS have also been discussed. In addition, both micro and macro-level socio-economic implications of COVID-19 on SHEMSs are discussed. A conclusion has been drawn given the strengths and limitations of different energy scheduling controllers and optimization techniques in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is observed that renewable-energy-based SHEMS with improved multi-objective meta-heuristic optimization algorithms employing artificial intelligence are better suited to deal with the dynamic residential energy demand in the pandemic. It is hoped that this review, as a fundamental platform, will facilitate the researchers aiming to investigate the performance of energy management and demand response schemes for further improvement, especially during the pandemic. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4708 | Resilience in Agriculture: Communication and Energy Infrastructure Dependencies of German Farmers Agriculture is subject to high demands regarding resilience as it is an essential component of the food production chain. In the agricultural sector, there is an increasing usage of digital tools that rely on communication and energy infrastructures. Should disruption occur, such strengthened dependencies on other infrastructures increase the probability of ripple effects. Thus, there is a need to analyze the resilience of the agricultural sector with a specific focus on the effects of digitalization. This study works out resilience capacities of the interconnected technologies used in farm systems based on the experiences and opinions of farmers. Information was gathered through focus group interviews with farmers (N = 52) and a survey with participants from the agricultural sector (N = 118). In particular, the focus is put on the digital tools and other information and communication technologies they use. Based on a definition of resilience capacities, we evaluate resilience regarding energy and communication demands in various types of farm systems. Especially important are the resilience aspects of modern systems’ digital communication as well as the poorly developed and nonresilient network infrastructure in rural areas that contrast with the claim for a resilient agriculture. The result is a low robustness capacity, as our analysis concludes with the risk of food production losses. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4709 | Citizen Compliance with Pandemic Rules in China: Exploring the Effects of Emotional States, Peer Influence and Policing In December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was first detected in Wuhan, China. Soon after, China became the first country in the world to enforce strict restrictions in an effort to mitigate the spread of the disease. Relying on survey data from 600 Chinese citizens in urban China, this study assessed the extent of citizen compliance and factors related to public compliance to pandemic lockdown and mitigation rules during the initial peak of the pandemic in January, 2020. Using multivariate regressions, we explored the effects of three sets of factors on Chinese citizens’ compliance to pandemic mitigation rules: negative emotions during the pandemic, peer modeling of compliance, and the prevalence of formal social control in the forms of police presence and performance. Our regression analyses suggest that all three mechanisms influence Chinese citizens’ level of compliance with counter-pandemic rules. Nevertheless, the strengths of their effects varied, with peer influence showing the strongest effect on compliance, followed by police presence and fear of contracting COVID-19. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4710 | Analysing the interactions and complexities of the operations in the production area of an FPSO platform using the functional resonance analysis method (FRAM) The technological evolution of several productive sectors of society has demanded the same level of evolution for the oil and gas industry, both for energy production and their own systems’ functioning. The production of crude oil and natural gas in offshore units is one of the answers to this demand. However, these offshore units have critical onboard activities and risks, notably FPSO units; it is necessary to have adequate recognition of the elements that can support these activities and manage these risks, enabling productive and safe operations. In this sense, this article aims to increase the understanding of the complex interactions and inherent safety issues that arise in the operations of FPSOs, observing and analysing the work done onboard such platforms. The FRAM methodology has been chosen because it allows for the recognition and analysis of the complex interactions involving workers, equipment, system and offshore environment, focusing on the oil treatment area of the process plant. The results demonstrated some interesting findings regarding onboard safety and the relationship between human competences, work demands and process safety. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4711 | The Exponentiated Gumbel-Weibull {Logistic} Distribution with Application to Nigeria's COVID-19 Infections Data A new flexible univariate probability distribution was defined in this paper. The new distribution is so called the ‘exponentiated Gumbel–Weibull {logistic} distribution’ and it arose by using the exponentiated Gumbel distribution to generate a generalized Weibull distribution using the logit function or the quantile function of the logistic distribution as a link. The new distribution was observed to be both unimodal and bimodal as well as exhibits various shape and tail properties consistent with data arising from several real life phenomena. A detail study of its statistical properties was carried out and the maximum likelihood method was used in the estimation of its parameters. The new distribution was applied in fitting the reported daily number of infections due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. Five other datasets were further used to ascertain the flexibility of the new distribution in fitting data sets with different statistical properties. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4712 | A Clustering Method with Historical Data to Support Large-Scale Consensus-Reaching Process in Group Decision-Making With the rapid development of information technology and social network, the large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM) has become more and more popular due to the fact that large numbers of stakeholders are involved in different decision problems. To support the large-scale consensus-reaching process (LCRP), this paper proposes a LCRP framework based on a clustering method with the historical preference data of all decision makers (DMs). There are three parts in the proposed framework: the clustering process, the consensus process and the selection process. In the clustering process, we make use of an extended k-means clustering technique to divide the DMs into several clusters based on their historical preferences data. Next, the consensus process consists of the consensus measure and the feedback adjustment. The consensus measure aims to calculate the consensus level among DMs based on the obtained clusters. If the consensus level fails to reach the pre-defined consensus threshold, it is necessary to make the feedback adjustment to modify DMs' preferences. At last, the selection process is carried out to obtain a collective ranking of all alternatives. An illustrative example and detailed simulation experiments are demonstrated to show the validity of the proposed framework against the traditional LCRP models which just consider the preference information of DMs at only one stage for clustering. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4713 | Content Analysis of the Economic Problems of Covid-19 Disease on Businesses: A Case Study of Tehran Province, Iran The outbreak of coronavirus in Iran, as in other countries of the world, has had a great impact on the domestic economy, which needs to be investigated. For this purpose, a survey of businesses in the services, industry and agriculture sectors in Tehran province in Iran was conducted on 12 May 2020 to 12 June 2020. For this purpose, research data were collected from 7387 businesses using a questionnaire. The results of content analysis showed that the highest frequency of problems for respondents is loans, liquidity and facilities, respectively. Then there are financial problems, payments, taxes, aid and grants, government, support and assistance. The lowest frequencies are related to the words directive and instructions, internet and politics, which show that these words are in low priority. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 4720 | Grenzregion Polen-Deutschland: gestärkt durch die COVID-19-Pandemie The COVID-19 pandemic is a humanitarian tragedy with millions of deaths worldwide. However, this virus is also a tremendous economic challenge. There is some evidence that vulnerable groups and regions are in particular at risk of suffering from unemployment, insolvency and other economic hardships during the pandemic. We analyse the economic consequences on one of the poorest regions, the borderland between Germany and Poland. Based on statistical analysis, an online survey of entrepreneurs and key-informant interviews, we can conclude that the consequences of the pandemic are not as disastrous for the region as expected. The instruments of mitigating the economic challenges (including support for enterprises, unemployment insurance and support for temporary under-utilisation of “Kurzarbeitergeld”) were quite successful. The survey partners even see some improvements, in particular in the field of digitalisation. All agree that the flow of information and cooperation between Poland and Germany should have been more intensive to reflect the manifold economic and personal interdependencies between the two countries. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 4744 | Verbraucherverschuldung und -überschuldung in Zeiten von COVID-19 Consumer debt and over-indebtedness restrict financial self-determination. It is the task of the state to ensure that a minimum level of self-determination is guaranteed even in a pandemic. What is the minimum level? What is the responsibility of a consumer policy that dovetails with economic and social policy? Eighty participants from academia, consumer protection, social associations, business and ministries discussed three topics on 16 December, 2021 at the invitation of the German Council of Consumer Experts: 1) concepts, developments, causes of consumer indebtedness and over-indebtedness; 2) their social context; and 3) measures to secure economic self-determination. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 4745 | Effekte einer Tilgungsstreckung für coronabedingte Staatsschulden The coalition agreement prevents tax increases. However, the federal government needs income for politically desirable projects. For this reason, the government is planning to stretch the re-payment plan for the corona loans. This policy reduces the repayment burden in the present thereby creating financial leeway for spending. If the yields on government bonds rise in the future, the interest burden will increase due to the extension of the repayment period. If the financial leeway is used for investments, future generations will inherit debts and assets. In fact, federal investment spending over the past two years has been 11.3 %. If this rate is also applied to these funds, there would be a heavy burden on the future generation. This would be a violation of inter-temporal equivalence. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
